This was too much for poor, half-petrified pink-face with the twisted tail. Seeing that its comrades were gone in earnest, it became desperate, flung itself frantically into the air with an agonising squeak, missed its mark, went crashing through the slender branches and fell to the ground.
He changed it to "in the clothing department," and went on, doubtfully: "Mr. Duncan is a traveling-man. He's away on a trip." "Which one do you play with? So Nelly likes to well, make b'lieve 'magine?" "How did you " "Oh, I watched her looking at you. I think she's a terribly nice pink-face. And just now you're comparing her and me." "Gee!" he said. She was immensely pleased with herself.
The last two seemed quite unable to make up their minds to the leap, until the others seemed about to disappear, when one of them took heart and bounded wildly across. Thus little pink-face with the corkscrew tail was left alone!
I thought I was father's lord and chauffeur, but he sniffs the smoke of the ticker. In his mind, he's already back in the office, running things.

Then, with a wild shriek, the whole troop fled into the forest.
You go and forget me and enjoy yourself and be good to your pink-face Nelly, isn't it? She seems to be terribly nice, and I know you two will have a good party. You must forget me.
